Shakespeare Live event at Regent's Park Theatre

Similar to Letters Live!, award-winning stage and screen actors will come together for a hugely entertaining evening of Shakespeare based on Allie Esiri’s bestselling poetry anthology: Shakespeare for Every Day of the Year. 

Actors including Paul Chahidi, Damian Lewis (Homeland), Derek Jacobi CBE, Toheeb Jimoh (Ted Lasso), Stephen Mangan (Green Wing), Tracy Ann Oberman, Tony Robinson (Black Adder), Danny Sapani (Killing Eve, Black Panther), Samantha Spiro (Sex Education), Luke Thompson (Bridgerton), Indira Varma (Game of Thrones), Samuel West (Slow Horses), Olivia Williams (The Crown), and Susan Wokoma (Enola Holmes), will guide you on a journey through the Shakespeare you love and the best bits you don’t. There will be poetry, speeches, comedy and scenes read by actors who have a special connection to Shakespeare’s work and to Regents Park Theatre itself.

We’d be delighted if you were able to run either a news story or a preview listing for Shakespeare for Every Day of the Year – Live! at Regents Park Open Air Theatre on Monday 8^th July as part of any “What’s On in July” or “What’s on in London this Summer” round ups you might be planning. Tickets are £25 and are still available – see ticket info below.  Please note, the lineup is subject to change with more big names being added between now and 8^th July.

Poetry champion Allie Esiri, organiser of the event and author of 10 bestselling poetry anthologies, is also available for interview about her mission to keep poetry alive and make it accessible for everyone, as well as her previous career as an actress staring in TV hits including Sharpe, Touch of Frost, Howard’s End and Men Behaving Badly.
